What’s in a song:
New Every Morning

1) The Lords Lovingkindnesses

In me will never cease

And His compassion's

Will never fade away

They new every morning

They are new every day

2) For great is thy faithfulness

For great is thy faithfulness

Lord Have mercy

3) The Lords amazing graceful

(thank you Lord)

It abounds to us every day

And His great mercies

Never fade away

They are new every morning

They are new every day

4) Great is thy faithfulness [rpt x2]

   Just as the Sun breaks over the horizon, chasing away the darkness, like blowing away a feather. No matter what happens to you during the day before, no matter what countries are warring. As the sunlight lights up your bedroom, and the shrill of your alarm clock awakes you from slumbering.
   As we work our way down this song I will show where the song reference's the bible.

1] ‘The Lords lovingkindness – In me will never cease’

The Psalmist puts this way . .
Psalm 92:2 “To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night, [and day]”
. . just as your body should be fully rested and refreshed, so should your mind, and also your Faith.

   It can’t be stressed enough, for to give thanks in the morning to God for all His compassion’s, every morning. Just as we would wish and thank each day our loved ones, so to then should we not thank the Lord our God. In other words we are offering up our worship to Him, with thanks giving in our hearts.

   No matter how good the Lord has been for us the day before, His goodness & lovingkindness has been .. Laminations 3:23 “They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness” .. did you see that, not just once a Week ~ Month ~ Year or even in a lift time, instead “every morning”, so ready to go again the next morning. God is never tired ~ bored or fed up, He will be there “every Morning”, ready to go again.

2] "For great is thy faithfulness,

     For great is thy faithfulnes Lord Have mercy"
Psalm 119:90 “Your faithfulness endures to all generations"

   Our Heavenly Fathers “Faithfulness” is not particular to one age group. It transcends to all ages, from the youngest to the eldest of us. There is NO restrictions, all you need to do is ‘have Faith & believe’. It is as simple as that! So when singing ‘Lord have mercy’, we are acknowledging that we are far from perfect, hence why asking Jesus to forgive our daily transgressions, and that is why we need to have Hiss tender mercies each & every Morning.

Q: What transgressions are we asking

His tender mercies for?

3]  "The Lords amazing graceful (thank you Lord), 

        It abounds to us every day And His great mercies 

       Never fade away They are new every morning .They 

       are new every day"
   What a verse, if you ever had any doubts as to what God has to offer, then this is the one, never has been made more clear for you. As I has just spoke of there are NO sacrifices needed .. NO Cattle .. NO Sheep .. NO Goats. ‘Only Gods amazing Grace’, free to ALL who have Faith in the only one true living God, who wants to show His wonderful tender mercies. . .
Psalm 84:11 “The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold”
(NLT) “the Lord bestows favour and honour”
… see that “grace and glory” or “favour and honour”. He wants to shower us with all the Heavenly riches in our lives, lets step out in Faith, and receive these Heavenly sent gifts. In saying thank you in Faith believing. . .
1 Chronicles 16:8 “Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name”
.. whenever someone gives a gift, with no strings attached, it only good manners that you say thank you? Isn’t it? How many times have you said thank you? Every times I think?

“It abounds to us every day”
[NLT] Philippians 1:9 “I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding”
“And His great Mercies” .. His tender mercies are new every Morning/day, if we are not carrying any of yesterdays sin over into the next day. So we must be ready to respond to the conviction of the Holy spirit, thus taking responsibility for our sin that day, confessing it to the Lord, them trusting His mercy. . .
Psalm 89:1 “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations”
.. By letting known .. “to all generations” .. meaning NO age or ethnicity exceptions, is the only way we can assure of spreading his great love. Because there is NO greater thing, when receiving His love/mercy. Remember always, just because His Mercy/Love is new every morning, that they are just going to stop suddenly, think again as they WILL be new every Morning, to never stop. Listen to Paul put here. . .
1 Peter 1:4 “to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you”
.. This is why we sing .. “will not fade away” .. who else make you that promise, and no matter of life trials, He will keep all promises made. Never become despondent, or down in the heart. Just because it did not happen there and then, His promise will come to florishon. Never let scoffers steel your Heaven sent faith, be stollen from you, instead stand firm ~ and proud ~ stand strong.

   Just because you come to end of another day, where all it seemed is you banged your head against a brick wall all the day long. Remember this . . .

“They are new every Morning

They new every Day”

.. So when settling down each night, remember His mercies are New Fresh every Morning, so don’t panic or worry.

4] “Great is thy faithfulness
      Great is thy faithfulness”
   How many times have we given our assurances, that others can count on us, only for when we are called upon, to let them down breaking the very promise we said we would keep. In doing so then telling them that your not faithful, or your not to be counted upon. Unlike God whose faithfulness is refreshed every morning , along with His tender mercies.
   So every Morning let us point our faces to Heaven, raise your hands up high, sing to Heaven and rejoice. . .
Psalm 89:1 “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations”

Prayer
Heavenly father we thank you for saving us, we thank you for your tender mercies, may we not miss use your mercies, instead making the most of them each and every day. In Jesus name we pray.

Intercessory Prayer....

Intercessory Prayer

Nehemiah 1 4/11   “. .Why have they never known the way before? Why hundreds stand outside the mercies? I

know not; but I ask, dear Lord, thou would

lead them now . .”

   Prayer is one of the greatest privileges and one of the mightiest forces with which man can have to do. Through prayer Elijah turned off the rain of Heaven for 3 ½ years . .

James 5 17   “. . Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it

did not rain on the land for three years

and six months . .”

 . .and Peter was delivered from the prison in answered prayer having made prayers unto God a Kingdom of priests.

 Revelation 5 10   “. . And have made us kings and 

priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.

   It’s in our Heavenly calling to make to make intercession for others. In these words of Nehemiah we think we see Characteristics of prevailing prayer. These are . .

·       Earnestness

·       Knowledge

·       Importunity

·       Confession

·       Faith

·       Consecration

   

 Earnestness

   We wept – Mourned – Fasted (v4). But, Why do we fast? Fasting & praying help us to focus, removing all temptation & distraction that will cause our minds to wonder. The main times, it seems, is when there is a disaster, like earth slides, or a plane crash where many people have been killed. For instance the recent terror attack to place in Paris, or the crude homemade bombs in New York.    

   We all can pay lip-service, i.e, a quick ‘Oh my Lord may your grace be upon them. Then you give them not another thought!

   As God loves a cheerful giver and those who send heart felt prayers. He hates those who draw near in prayer, but those whose heart is somewhere else. This makes mockery of their whole prayers. In fact it’s better not to have prayed in the first place.

Knowledge

   It was Nehemiah’s closeness to God that he had freedom of prayer, he could he could pray this . .

V6  “.I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, 

the great and terrible God, that keeps covenant and 

mercy for them that love him. .”

   Because of Nehemiah’s belief in Gods greatness. .

-        His Terribleness

-        His Faithfulness

-        His Mercifulness

. . .all of this is great, but, when drawing near to Him (God) we must believe that He is the warder of them that diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11 6   “. . But without faith it is impossible to please 

him: for he that comes to God must believe 

that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that 

diligently seek him. .”

   To know such a god in such a fashion is to ask much and expect much. Thus those of us that do know we do this with much importunity.

Importunity

(. .is when you go do something, like a girl asking ‘Please

take me to the Mall’ where she ask once. Whereas

Importunate is (objective), a plea that is so persistent,

or demanding that it becomes annoying. .)

   I have never heard of the word being used, or have known about the word. That said it seems this word has been used a lot down the years.

Luke 11 8   “. .  I say unto you, Though he will not rise

and give him, because he is his friend, yet because

of his importunity he will rise and give him as many

as he needs. .”

   It is of belief that some say you only have to pray once, because God is not deaf. So is a waste of time and your breath? Sure who knows what is in your hearts and minds. But, home much does it mean to that family member/friend saved or someone healed? Are we to say to them yeah sure, I’ll pray, then forget about them, after only praying for them once.

Daniel 11 32   “. . And such as do wickedly against the covenant

 shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know

their God shall be strong, and do exploits. .”

   Those truly know their God will know that it pleases god to see us pray, and not just the once, but continually. Many have asked how often are you supposed to pray and for how long? Well, a lot throughout the day. I give thanks to the Lord in prayer, for every green light, find parking close to where going and free, for good Weather. In fact I give thanks to the Lord for everything. Just because I would pray with my eyes open, which is a pre-requisite when driving, does not lessen my prayers.

V6 “. . which I pray before thee now, day and night. .”  It was because of the widows continual coming (never giving up because it became hard/difficult). The lessen our Lord is trying to teach here is found in the parable from Luke, is of the man begging from his friend that comes at mid-night.

Luke 11 8  “. .I say unto you, though he will not

rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because

of his importunity he will rise . .”

   It was whilst Moses help up his hand that Israel prevailed “. . pray with ceasing . .” but, not weary in such well doing, for in the season to come you will reap all, if you don’t faint.

V 6& 7  “. .both I and my father's house have sinned. We have dealt very corruptly against thee . .”

    It has to be a sad state of affairs that large percentage of saved Christians think that “now I’m saved I can sit back and do nothing”, apart from keep seats warm. 

The sin of dealing with God is a

 b Very common one, and a very

Grievous one

    So many pay lip service. Pretend to believe in His word. Because of this some many ‘still’ live in fear and dread and doubt. Then they ask the Lord, for the things they don’t need to get, instead prevail with God in prayer if there is no confession made of their deceitfulness which has made their lives so baron to date.

   We can’t say for the Lord to come into our life, because I’m a sinner, but, I don’t want to change anything in my life and stop being a sinner. Then they get baptized, yet this meant nothing, because they carry on sinning. All the time they were lying God would you do this to your ‘Earthly Father? Would you? How can we expect to prevail with God when all we do is lie to Him! 

Faith

Our Faith lay hold of the spoken word of God

V 8 & 9  “. .Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commanded thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. .”

   Within our prayers that are built up by Faith on the promise of God cannot be over thrown. Turning to the Lord himself, Nehemiah fulfilled the condition of the blessing, the he took the place of the Lords, remembrance, saying “Remember . . the word”. Nowhere in the Bible does it say, that god wants an elaborate shows of Faith. Instead it please Him for us to have a child like that is infinitely pleasing to Him.

   God finds it very difficult to deny when He finds so much of Himself involved in such pleading. Instead God goes one step further and reminds us of His great works, in reminding us of his great power, “. .Power and strong hand. .” (V10). The audacity of Faith is astounding, it looks up into the face of God saying . .

“There is thy Word of promise, and there is redemption which is the evidence of thy mighty love and the strength of thy saving. .”

   Now do this thing for me, he that comes to God must believe and in doing so believing he must be rewarded.

Consecration

V11   “. .O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine

ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the

 prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name. .”

   “In our prayers we should a miss if we are not prepared to yield ourselves unto God and to live for the Gory of His Name.” (Jes 4 v3) With God we have 3 classes of servants. . .

1.    The Slave:  Who serves through ‘fear’.

2.  The Hireling  Who serves for ‘wages’

3.  The Son  Who serves for ‘Love’.

The Slave:  Who serves through ‘fear’.

   These people have been around for many-a-millennium They were forced to work long hours, for little shelter/rest or pay. Slaves had no say over to whom they should serve & Worship.

John 8 34

NKJ puts it ”. .Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. “

Although The Message puts it

“I tell you most solemnly that anyone who

chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life

and is, in fact, a slave. A slave is a transient, who

can’t come and go at will. .”

The Hireling  Who serves for ‘wages’

   John 10 12/113

But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not

own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep

and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not

care about the sheep.

   John leaves no doubt as to the true meaning of these people. For if they had to stand at the pulpit teaching the Lord Gods word, was not paid. There would not, sad to say, be a large percentage of leaders/Preachers. To be one of these you must have a calling from God.

The Son  Who serves for ‘Love’.

   He should be one who looks to please his Father & Mother, and be bringing grief & strife. . .

Proverbs 10 1  “. .A wise son makes a glad father,
But a foolish son is the grief of his mother. .”

. .Instead he should be seeking that that only shows love & peace, because he is free to do so. Unlike the ‘Slave’ he needs not to be oppressed into showing this. His time & love cannot be bought as he willing/wants to show his parents, how much they mean to him, no so for the ‘Hireling’.

   It is the obedient and the devoted who expects to get the fullness of the Heavenly Father. It is those who present a living sacrifice unto God are able to show all that is good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12 1& 2

“. .Those would prevail with God to give them the servants

portion, first of all must take the servants place. .”
